It's been many months since I visited TC and there some nice changes. I wasn't sure if I should post this under the O-Cha Vendor section or this one. Has anyone tried O-Cha's Uji Matcha Manten? I've made it through Ippodo's matchas and now I'm on to the next vendor, which is O-Cha fo me.
Lots of folks raved about Ippodo's Ummon-no-Mukashi, which was one of the first I tried from Ippodo. I wasn't crazy about it. Howevever, I found a little left in my canister after about 10 months
and decided to try it last week. I know. But, I was curious. Why did I like it better after it was old?! It was so much sweeter. I thought it would be pretty bad, but ended up liking it better than the many cups I had last summer.
Thoughts?

It is not unusual for a matcha to mellow with time, much like a Gyokuro, they are both shade grown.
You could certainly pose the question in the "Official" O-Cha topic. I hope you post there!
